摘要:
The techniques of the present invention provide mechanisms for enabling a new type of interactive online discussion where any number of people can participate in a discussion of a topic and having the impression of following a coherent discussion. By following a novel process described in the present invention, eventually they would collectively generate a set of statements that the majority of the participants have agreed to. Moreover, a participation performance of the participants is being kept so as to potentially regroup those best performers in a future meeting with a similar topic.

Normalizing a measure of the level of current interest of an item that is based on indications of interest received from one or more users of a network via which the item is accessible is disclosed. In one embodiment, an intensity value is determined for each successive indication of interest received with respect to an item. At the time each successive indication of interest with respect to the item is received, an intensity rank based at least in part on the intensity value of the received indication is calculated. The calculated intensity rank is multiplied by a normalization factor to determine a normalized intensity rank.

摘要:
Collaborative digital media artifact production is disclosed. Included are structured collaborative digital media creation environments intended to enable communities to create full and partial digital media products. Activities such as creating individual identities, browsing identities of other users, creating and viewing digital media artifacts, tracking the development history of a digital media artifact, voting on, rating, and modifying digital media products developed by other users are included. A collaborative digital media creation system is also included for digital media artifact production, including a studio having interfaces for user interaction for community development.
摘要:
A technique is disclosed for facilitating electronic commerce and/or information exchange. The technique of the present invention enables a content provider to create a web space which can surface large amounts of product data into one single view. In addition, the display and layout of the web space may be dynamically customized. Further, if desired, customer specific data may be overlaid on product catalog data. In this way, customers are able to quickly grasp the extent of the virtual store and access products of interest by drilling-down on any single region of the store. Additionally, customer behavior patterns and activities may be tracked in real-time. This information may be used to enable a on-line merchant to respond appropriately, in real-time, in order to facilitate sales of merchandise to current on-line shoppers.
